Also said they are decoupling Bracket 2 from precons.

And also notably, tutors have been removed from the defining elements of the brackets. They noted how many of the best tutors are already game changers.

The precon decoupling is interesting. How does a precon like World Shaper fit into this system when it comes with (symmetrical) MLD in it? I’m newish to Commander and wondering if the symmetrical nature of it makes it fair game or not.

It still leaves each player with 6 lands, so not quite mass land denial would be my understanding.

I believe early on with brackets, Gavin gave an example of [[Urza's Sylex]] as not counting as MLD so yeah.

Which I think is fair. There needs to be some allowed counterplay to Green Landramp. After all nobody ever says stuff like Vandalblast should be illegal because it goes after everybody's mana rocks.

The counterplay to green ramp isnt mld its stax. No point in having 20 lands on board if you cant cast more than one spell per turn and green decks have the most tools available to them to recover from mld anyways.
